Settlers finally started moving this week. I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong.

The real story is in the miniature games, which are now at 1000% of last years sales, exceeding sales of board games. My board game season is now my miniature game season. If I were to do my top miniatures:

Imperial Guard Baneblade

Space Marine Battleforce

7th Armored Normandy (Flames of War)

Space Marine Tactical Squad

Warhammer 40k: Apocalypse

Eldar Windrider Host

Chaos Space Marine Codex

Chaos Space Marines

Devastator with Heavy Bolter

Battle for Macragge 40K Str

If I had to point to a hole in our miniatures strategy, it would be the lack of new players, as shown in our small number of 40K starter sets. Our primary goal for 2008 should be bringing in new hobbyists, especially younger kids. We've gotten lucky, now we have to the work to build the hobby.
